PS3 Netflix will stay dependent on disc for up to a year
Sony talks movies
Netflix has finally dropped on the PS3 but, unlike the Xbox 360, it will not be able to stream movies without the disc for quite some time.
According to G4, it won't be until late next year before PS3 users receive the update that liberates them from their Netflix discs.
"Late next year we expect to have an embedded solution available for PS3s via a system software update slated for release through the PlayStation Network," offered Steve Swasey, Netflix VP of Corporate Communications. "Until then, enjoy watching instantly via your PS3 using the instant streaming disc!"
This date is not currently set in stone, but we wouldn't suggest holding your breath. Stop back in for more information as it develops.
